Heavy Duty Sliding Doors

Heavy Duty or Oversize Sliders offer increased Architectural opportunity. Thermosash suite sections allow for large sliders, single or multiple stacking. These are commonly specificed where vehicle or over height access is required into a building for example car sales yards and convention centers. 

The hardware systems that Thermosash allows for offers easy sliding or integration of automated door opening gear where required and high loading / trafficability over the sliding tracks.

Frame Size
An example of one of the largest glazed sliding doors we have installed  is located at the Viaduct Events Centre in Auckland measuring 4mtrs x 4mtrs. The limitation is generally with maximum transport loads and glass weight, however larger doors can be transported CKD and assembled on site where necessary.

The stile section for the over-sized sliding doors is generally 100mm and is capable of receiving double glazed units up to 24mm. Depending on the door size and other environmental factors such as wind - stiffiners maybe required.

Our Expertise
Thermosash’s abilities have grown since its 1973 start-up when Laurie Hayes and his colleagues manufactured commercial windows out of a small production facility. It quickly became apparent that the products and skills of the workforce were creating a performing quality, flexible product that the market sought.

Over time, our teams of dedicated and committed people have grown, this has been possible through constant reassessment of internal and external processes and manufacturing methods from around the world. We’ve also provided ongoing reinvestment in the training of our people to ensure lean process, IT Systems, material handling machinery and transport logistics equipment, as well as design office and factory production process improvements. We are able to offer a world class company with manufacturing facilities in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
